Four simple steps
1
Register and upload your images
After registering an account you can head straight to the upload section in your Client Portal where you can securely upload your images. Our system instantly starts searching for your images online
2
Review and approve curated cases
Once we have sifted through your findings, we will present the potential cases with the highest probability of success for approval in your Client Portal. Then, you choose which cases you want us to pursue
3
Initiate Post-Licensing process
After you approve a case, we immediately start the Post-Licensing process. The image user will receive our communications with a request for a proof of license and we will settle any unauthorized usage online

See what some of our partners are saying
"Collaborating with the professional team at RYDE copyright infringement has allowed us to take back control of image licensing and to generate a new revenue stream in a previously unprofitable part of the business. Their diligent and helpful team make the process of dealing with what are sometimes quite complex copyright issues, a painless and profitable exercise".
Lee DaltonGM of Avalon Licensing Limited 
“RYDE has made our life so much easier by providing us an easy way of monitoring the illegal use of images and reaching out on behalf of our clients where there is unlicensed use.”
Gudrun WronskiCEO of BLAUBLUT 
“I had almost entirely forgotten the true value of my own work until joining RYDE. They are protecting the assets I’ve produced in the past, and for the first time in a long time, allowing me to feel excited about my future as a photographer.”
Jürgen HornTravel Bloggers, For91Days 
“I love that I am not faced with hundred of weak matches to sort through. It’s also lovely to have payments arriving in my bank account. I couldn’t ask for more.”
Damien LovegroveWedding and Portrait Photographer 
"The best thing about working with RYDE is that they are really helping me getting my rights and they are such a great, trustful and sensible team and working with them is great fun for me."
Ken SchluchtmannArchitectural and Commercial Photographer 
"I've tried a number of image monitoring services in the past and none have been like RYDE. All I have to do is periodically upload my images and wait for the matches to come in. Then it’s a matter of a few clicks and waiting for payment to arrive in my account. If only every service was this easy!"
Jeremy JonesProfessional photographer and blogger 
“Working with RYDE to protect my photography has been one of my smartest business decisions. Their industry experience shines in the way they communicate to infringers. The communication is friendly yet professional which tends to win minds and hearts. Yet if there isn’t a satisfactory outcome, the team will escalate the case as needed."
